Welcome to the Personal Development Trailblazers Podcast! In this episode, we’ll share insights, and inspiration to embrace life’s shifts.
Dr. Candace Hayden’s path to becoming a transformational coach and hypnotherapist was forged through profound personal challenges and triumphs. A doctorate in Organization Development and Change in hand, Candace found herself questioning her purpose after graduation. Life responded with trials—her mother’s passing, a divorce after 21 years of marriage, and supporting her son through a career-ending injury.
In the midst of grief, a chance encounter with a soul coach set her on a new trajectory. Drawn to the world of holistic healing, Candace earned her certification and began to uncover her deeper calling. This marked the beginning of a transformative journey—one that saw her shed over 100 pounds, become a licensed Zumba and Pound instructor, and earn her RTY 200 Yoga license.
But transformation wasn’t just physical. By 49, Candace realized she was redefining herself entirely—moving beyond roles of daughter, wife, and mother to rediscover the woman within. A breakup, the decline of her father’s health, and the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic deepened her resolve. Amid these struggles, she made a powerful choice—to love herself fully and live life on her own terms.
In 2021, a sudden and unexplained paralysis from the chest down tested Candace’s spirit once more. Facing the possibility of never walking again, she defied the prognosis. Through grit, faith, and the power of hypnotherapy, she regained mobility—eventually walking in a marathon in Greece.
Today, Candace’s practice, LivinLife Coaching Practice, reflects her unwavering belief that transformation is possible for everyone. Whether guiding clients through hypnotherapy, wellness coaching, or life transitions, she draws from her own experiences to help others overcome adversity and step into their fullest potential.
Her motto is simple yet powerful: "Focusing on the whole person – mind, body, spirit, and soul.
